QuickBooks Q&A

I am a recently new user to QBO (Originally a desktop user) In some ways I find QBO great but in other ways it is incredibly difficult to work with. There is a lot of things that make no sense at all (No SKU on packing notes, no option to bulk update prices by SKU etc) I have also noticed that the forums are full of posts from people requesting features that simply get ignored. I thought it would be a good idea to have a dedicated post with a collection of requests that can be directly passed to the "management / development team" as the feedback function clearly doesnt seem to work. At the moment I am convinced the management of QBO have never used their own software. I am also convinced that management dont focus on what users ACTUALLY need from the software, they just come up with their own bizarre ideas of what they THINK users want, and most of the time its simply wrong. This isnt a post for conversation, if there is a feature request you think is a good idea j

I want to learn how to use QuickBooks and to get certified thereafter

incomplete form done on line as noted error in box 2. how can i correct that error before completing remaining boxes before actually submitting form

I have two customised reports but can't add the missing column to either of them. I need to export and merge to get the data I need.

How to delete multiple transactions?

Within the business a customer secures a booking by paying a deposit of £50. This is set up within QB as a current liability and is listed against the customer within the Deposit report. If the customer cancels the booking at short notice this £50 is forfeited. What transaction do I do within Quickbooks to reflect this. I want to ideally do a contra on the current liability deposit report specifically against the customer so when I look at that customer in the report at a later date it shows £0 deposit. (£50/-£50).The other side should be credited to income. Any advice as to the transactions necessary would be appreciated. Thank you

I have a separate bank account for all my invoices to be paid.  I then pay myself 80% leaving 20% for tax. I have joined my bank on to the app but how do I categorise them in to my salary. At the moment on the app it looks like I have 0 income and 0 take home pay? 

if you have done this please provide/show examples...thank you in advance

How do i apply a different category (from travel to car expenses) without having to clic on each one individually ?

I just clicked on 'disallowable expenses' and it lists a ton of random car expenses which are allowable. Why?

Does anyone know if its possible to add carriage returns to invoice item descriptions in Quickbooks Self-Employed? I'm used to adding long descriptions and listing the tasks I carried out for the client (this was very easy to do in Freshbooks - which I used previously). I'm using a PC laptop. Any advice much appreciated.

We are a small business and use QBO to create estimates for our customers based on labour (our services) and materials (purchased in on demand per project). It seems to be impossible within QBO to convert the estimate into purchase orders for each supplier. We are often purchasing 10 - 20 materials from various suppliers and would have thought it was possible to convert to multiple purchase orders, from each supplier. Instead we are presented with one purchase order which doesn't contain the relevant fields to enable us to quickly split this into multiple (i.e. save, copy, remove the irrelevant rows from each then send to each supplier). Are we missing something or is this simply not a feature of QBO? Thank you in advance for any and all advice!

Help!  I snapped receipts with my Quickbooks app, then later filled in missing info using Quickbooks online and created expenses.  These expenses have not matched with banking transactions, yet the info is the same.  How do i match them as if i create a new expense, won't i be duplicating them?  This has happened to about 20 receipts.  I need to attach some to client invoices so want to ensure i do this correctly.Many thanks, Debs
